When a new electric range is delivered to your home, it does not ship with a power cable connected to the unit.
Terminal block kit for electric ranges
This is because there are four possible wiring configurations for the range, depending on the wiring in your home.
When the electric range is installed, a three or four wire conduit or power cable must be connected to the terminal block at the rear of the unit.
If the terminal block on your older electric range is damaged, the range will not be able to obtain the electic power it needs to function.
The damaged terminal block must be replaced with and a new one for the range to operate.
